Finally I can show some buildings from my previous job.It's a russian isometric city project that reside here [link] (All materials are copyrighted, bla-bla)From the top to bottom of the picture:Habitable buildinsTwo lesser shopsOffice buildingsA churchA hotelA schoolArchitectural style was taken from real instances of soviet and post-soviet references.

This is not a true pixel art. Though the base is hand-made, but there were aftereffect works like applying gradients and soft brushes. It has been done for the sake of better appearence.

Sorry, for such a big delay with a reply. I hope I didn't make you angry.

Buildings were pixeled with straight pixel technics. Then I applied gradient to both lit and shadowed sides. On the lit side I used light-yellow gradient to make the upper part of a building more bright. It was on a separate layer with Linear Dodge filter with appropriate transparancy.On the shadow side I used darkblue or violet gradient, most density on the lower side. It was on a separate layer with Multiply filter applied.Sometimes I added noise to the roofs.Sometimes I added gradients only for windows.Other than that no other effects were used.

Wow, this really is High-End Pixelart. These buildings would really fit to the scale and style of www.pixelplaza.de, I think. These buildings really aren't true pixel art? They kind of look like "true" pixel art, though.
